Blade-Free LASIK? The LASIK procedure we provide at Medical Eye Center utilizes an integrated, all-laser technology that eliminates the use of blades. Blade-Free LASIK is safe, effective, and the most customizable. It allows us to correct the broadest range of vision, including mild to severe nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our surgeons are proud to utilize this world class technology and perform Blade-Free LASIK procedures exclusively.<\/p><p><strong>ALL-LASER<\/strong><br \/>Our surgeons use a laser, rather than a blade, to complete your LASIK procedure. Lasers are more precise and lead to fewer complications. The process uses fast pulses of laser light to penetrate at a precise depth below the corneal surface and allow your doctor to access the underlying corneal tissue.<\/p><p><strong>CUSTOMIZED<\/strong><br \/>Your eye is as unique as your fingerprint. Our laser is capable of treating the two main causes of vision error, and is customizable to your unique needs. The laser has the ability to perform both Wavefront-optimized and topography-guided Contoura laser vision correction. Wavefront-optimized refers to the spherical (nearsightedness or farsightedness) and cylindrical refractive errors. Topography-guided Contoura treatment uses topographical data to detect and treat subtle corneal irregularities called higher order aberrations. Your surgeon will help you choose the best option for you, depending on your correction and corneal shape.<\/p><p><strong>ACCURATE<br \/><\/strong>The Wavelight EX500 laser uses the most advanced mapping technology to create a highly customized treatment based on your unique refractive error and corneal irregularities. The laser captures 22,000 unique data points on your eye and then works to remove microscopic amounts of tissue to reshape your eye and correct errors. Its high pulse frequency delivers 500 pulses per second, making it the fastest and most accurate excimer in the U.S. The high speed prevents excess corneal dehydration, which reduces the risk of swelling and infection and helps speed the healing process, leading to quicker recovery times. Our surgeons expect your eye to move during the procedure, so they use a multi-dimensional infrared eye tracker, which is 10 times faster than the human eye, and continually monitors your eye movement during treatment.

Glasses fog up, get obscured by rain, and can even prevent you from enjoying things like swimming, skiing, hunting, and other activities.

Your prescription must be constantly updated, which means regularly getting new eyeglass lenses, and contacts have to be perpetually re-ordered. A lifetime of corrective lenses costs more than a LASIK procedure\u2014the average 25-year-old is projected to spend $30,000 on contacts over the next 25 years.

During your life, you may develop other eye problems such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, etc., which may change your vision and require surgery. These conditions are not covered under this program. Having other eye surgeries, such as cataract surgery or retinal detachment surgery, may result in your becoming more dependent on glasses in the future. Enhancements to correct vision after other surgeries are not covered under this policy. New technologies or treatments for other conditions may be developed that would also not be covered.

Once in place, the IOL acts as an internal contact lens behind the iris of the eye. The procedure is very similar to cataract surgery, one of the most commonly performed eye surgeries. The implant allows your eye to better focus on objects, reducing the need for glasses or contacts. There are several different types of IOL implants available today, and we\u2019ll help you determine which one is best for your vision.<\/p><h6><strong>Types of RLE Lens Implants:<\/strong><\/h6><h2>Standard intracocular lens implants<\/h2><p>A standard mono-focal IOL has one point of focus, which is usually distance vision. If you choose a standard IOL, you will generally need glasses for near activities like reading. On the other hand, if your mono-focal IOLs are focused on near vision, you would need glasses to see distant objects clearly. This is the case even if you didn\u2019t need glasses before surgery.<\/p><h2>Custom intracocular lens implants<\/h2><p>Custom IOLs are a revolutionary advance over the standard mono-focal IOL. Medical Eye Center was one of the first eye practices in the country to offer these premium lens implants for patients who choose custom cataract surgery. Your doctor will help determine which implant is best for you.<\/p><p><strong>Options include:<\/strong><\/p><h2>Multi-focal intracocular lens implants<\/h2><p>A multi-focal IOL contains multiple zones that focus light at a variety of distances, allowing you to see a continuous range of vision without glasses. This results in excellent visual acuity of close up and far away objects. Many patients report the ability to read small print and see distances, both without glasses. The Alcon ReSTOR\u00ae IOL is the multi-focal IOL we have chosen for our patients. This lens can however, produce rings or halos around bright lights and may make it difficult to see in low light situations, such as driving at night. While most patients adapt to this effect over a period of several months, the ReStor IOL is be a good choice if near vision is your priority.<\/p><h2>Accommodating intracocular lens implants<\/h2><p>An accommodating IOL is designed to flex much like your eye\u2019s healthy, natural lens, providing a continuous range of vision as you constantly change focus on the world around you. The Crystalens\u00ae IOL is the only FDA approved accommodating IOL. This lens has the ability to \u201caccommodate,\u201d or change shape, allowing it to focus on both far and near objects. The Crystalens IOL tends to provide excellent distance and intermediate vision. Most patients can function well without glasses for distance and casual reading, but may need glasses for fine print and very close work.

Correcting astigmatism once required that tiny limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) be made in the cornea to change its shape. Now Toric IOLs can replace the need for these incisions in patients with mild to moderate astigmatism. For those with higher levels of astigmatism, a combination of technologies may be used. Generally, these procedures reduce the thickness of your glasses at all distances and may also reduce your reliance on glasses for distance vision.<\/p><p><a title=\"Refractive Lens Exchange: FAQ\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.medicaleyecenter.com\/resources\/faq#rle\">Read our FAQs<\/a>\u00a0on Refractive Lens Exchange<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4212\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4212\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4212\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4212\"><p>An Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) provides laser vision correction for patients with high amounts of nearsightedness (myopia) who are not candidates for LASIK. This technically advanced lens material is made of 100% pure collagen copolymer, which is compatible with your body\u2019s natural chemistry. It transmits light very similarly to your natural lens because the collagen copolymer\u2019s characteristics are nearly identical to the human crystalline lens. And as an added feature, it contains a UV blocker that actually helps prevent harmful UVA and UVB rays from entering the eye.<\/p><p>Unlike cataract surgery, ICL does not require the removal of the eye\u2019s crystalline lens, and unlike LASIK or other refractive procedures, the ICL procedure does not involve the removal of sensitive eye tissue. This short outpatient procedure takes approximately 15 minutes, wherein the ICL is inserted into the eye through a micro-opening. The lens unfolds in the eye and is positioned between the iris and the natural lens where it stays indefinitely. This makes the procedure efficient and dramatically reduces healing time. In fact, you will experience full recovery typically in 1-2 days, with minimal discomfort.<\/p><p>Your eye surgeon will determine if you are a good candidate for ICL based on your correction needs, eye health, medical history and desired outcome for refractive surgery.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4213\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4213\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Intacs<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4213\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4213\"><p>Intacs corneal implants gently reshape the curve of your cornea from within, in order to correct mild nearsightedness.
